As a lot of you know, just two days ago I was so adamant about leaving Rory outside, I thought for her comfort it was the best place for her to be. Many of you gave me many reasons why it was not a good idea and I discounted ALL of them. I am so sorry. I saw all the condolnces left for this owner saying how sorry they are and I know in times of loss all that can go in one ear and out the other, nothing can bring his babies back. I told him my story, I told him of my stuborness, I then told him that his story has changed EVERYTHING about the way I will take care of my girl in the future. So I offer my apology to all of you but most of all Michelle. Thank you for not backing down, thank you for putting me in my place. God Bless

Oh, I am just fuming - my arms are tingling. My first thought is that my pellet gun only loads one f-ing pellet a time (and is not even within easy reach). After the recent discussions by/with lipships, I even dug out a metal cable tie out "rope" (for the rare occasions that we use one) vs the rope we currently use (mostly to just keep her from chasing possums/cats on the last potty break before bedtime - no fun chasing her in the dark tired and barefooted). Anyhow, that is a real eye-opener. I could picture someone stealing a dog and I figured I was safe since Ruby's a mix and doesn't look too 'menacing' or beefy/attractive to fighters but that is REALLY, REALLY scary that somebody could be so vengeful like that and come to your house. I would want blood over that and would pray I caught the person in the act to at least try to cause some blood.... Geez - wish I hadn't gotten so mad on such a hot day! I'm sweating!!!!

The saddest part of all is that they'll NEVER catch this a-hole unless he ends up bragging about it to someone. It is probably the uncle or cousin who lives in the area of somebodywho was scared or injured by a pit bull type dog......... I'd be walking around in my front yard studying people's (neighbor's) faces for any signs of contempt. I've even been known to reverse spy thru the fence slots. WE NEED 'SMILIES' FOR BAD WORDS!!!

I am still just incensed over this. I told my hubby about it and started crying again. I just hugged Inara so long and hard, crying, that she started getting nervous and licking my face. I just don't have the words for how I feel. It's killing me, I can't imagine what I would do to anybody who laid a hand on Inara. I'd be in jail the rest of my life. God, it makes me ashamed to be a member of the human race when crap like this happens.

I just can't stop crying about this. I just keep vividly picturing it being one of my own dogs I am trying frantically to cut down. Fvck. What the hell is wrong with people? Whenever I'm doing meet and greets I make sure I tell them of the dangers of leaving a pit outside unattended because too many people love AND hate them for the wrong reasons and they can be stolen, poisoned and now obviously, hanged. I just can't even wrap my head around the fact that this actually happened. That someone actually did this. Premeditated it and actually acted upon it.
